Episode Overview

In this episode of Garage Logic, Joe Soucheray and the team tackle the astonishing changes in Minnesota’s civic and political landscape, focusing on the emergence of a new kind of “brotherhood”—one centered around fraudulent self-enrichment rather than civic responsibility. The group also delves into international tensions in the Middle East, the fragility of American politics, local Minnesota legislative controversies, and colorful local stories that ground their common-sense, often skeptical perspective.

The tone is quintessentially Garage Logic: sardonic, rooted in everyday realities, with sharp criticism of current political movements, concern over societal drift, and a heavy dose of old-school practicality.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Trouble in the Strait of Hormuz and Geopolitical Tensions

• Joe expresses fascination with maritime activity in the Strait of Hormuz, describing it as the ultimate spot to “watch boats” and discussing the latest blockades amid Mideast tensions.

• Iran's selective blockade: The GL crew speculates on how Iran is preventing U.S. and Israeli ships from passing while letting others through, discussing means such as naval mines, drone threats, and GPS spoofing (07:45).

• Impact on gas prices: Everyone chimes in with what they paid at the pump recently, reflecting the uncertainty in world affairs on daily American life.

  Quote:

  “The captains have to be on their toes. … You gotta stick to your lanes the whole deal.”
  —Joe Soucheray (01:34)

  Quote:

  “How is Iran exactly preventing an American bound tanker from leaving there? Deploying naval mines, leveraging fast attack boats, drones and anti-ship missiles…”
  —John Reaves, summarizing his quick research (07:47)

2. American Uncertainty & The Quality of Leadership

• Common thread of uncertainty: Joe notes the “constant feeling of uncertainty” (10:17), attributing it to media saturation and national instability.

• Discussion of Iran’s leadership succession: The panel mocks the reported appointment of Mojtaba Mani as Iran’s new Supreme Leader, lampooning nepotism in religious governance.

  Quote:

  “We live in the least stable times in my memory.”
  —Joe Soucheray (13:02)

  Memorable moment:
  Kenny likens the Iranian succession to a “David Spade and Chris Farley movie,” (11:58), highlighting the absurdity.

3. The New vs. Old ‘Brotherhood’ in Minnesota

• Listener email from Chris (23:00–26:20): This is the thematic heart of the episode, responding to Joe’s queries about organized fraud in Minnesota politics and connecting it to the idea of a “brotherhood.”

  • The Old Brotherhood: Historically, influential business leaders steered Minnesota’s civic development, focusing on commerce and city success—even if self-serving.
  • The New Brotherhood: Now, what exists is a “brotherhood” of fraudsters and political operatives, centered in places like the Safari Restaurant in Minneapolis, with self-enrichment and political patronage replacing community improvement.

  Quote:

  “There is a brotherhood and it isn't a brotherhood interested in the advancement of commerce. … It's a brotherhood designed to enrich few.”
  —Joe Soucheray (25:46)

4. Controversial Minnesota Legislation: Rent Relief for All?

• DFL rent assistance bill: The hosts critique a proposal allocating $40 million for rent relief, even for residents who are undocumented, registered sex offenders, or convicted of defrauding government programs (28:48–35:03).

• Republican amendment rejected: All DFL senators voted against amendments to restrict funds to legal residents or exclude households with criminals.

• Political cynicism: The GL team lambasts Minnesota’s leadership for abandoning “common sense,” painting the DFL as “democratic socialist Marxists” who disregard “decency, convention, whatever.”

  Quote:

  “You're harboring a criminal, we're going to pay you. … If someone happens to be in that home who should be tagged as a predator, we're not. Good. They get the money, too.”
  —Joe Soucheray (31:43)

  Quote:

  “This is who runs Minnesota. They have no respect whatsoever for tradition, decency, convention.”
  —Joe Soucheray (32:27)

5. The Broader Downturn – Loss of Minnesota's Sense of Common Good

• Contrast of 'Brotherhoods': Joe draws a historic contrast, noting that while past civic elites may have been self-interested, their projects (like the Metrodome) at least promoted commerce and city life. The new political networks are critiqued as self-enriching “activists” who reject the ethos of work, responsibility, and commerce (66:09–71:15).

• Cultural Drift: The episode laments the loss of civic culture, responsibility, and business acumen, replaced by activism and victim-awareness training in schools.

  Quote:

  “What they're active about has nothing to do with success. … It has to do with undermining that which used to make a city successful.”
  —Joe Soucheray (68:10)

  Quote:

  “They have no grand view of America, no beautiful view of America. They only see problems. Darkness. They see darkness. They are dark people. And it's just... killing the state.”
  —Joe Soucheray (73:27)

6. Local Color Segment: Minnesota Life & Listener Correspondence

• Notes about snow removal, garage etiquette, postal carrier woes, and a humorous bit about Garage Logic’s popularity in Anguilla—inspired by a serendipitous meeting in Florida (21:01–22:30).

• Tangents about closing of the last Hooters at Mall of America (49:37), crazy political characters (45:34), and the eternal quest for the best parking spot (61:33–63:17).

  Quote:

  “I live by one rule—never be an optimist in a parking lot. Take the first spot you see.”
  —Joe Soucheray (63:09)

Conclusion

This episode stands as a rich tapestry of local skepticism, cultural nostalgia, and biting political critique. Garage Logic draws a bright line between Minnesota’s past—embodied in the old “brotherhood” of civic-minded, if self-serving, business leaders—and the present, where new “brotherhoods” of activists and political operatives pursue self-enrichment and destabilize the civic order. The discussion is laced with humor, memorable one-liners, and trademark common sense, making this essential listening for GLers and anyone concerned about the direction of their state and country.

[John Reaves]

Hail the flashlight King.

[Joe Soucheray]

And now, from the mayor's office above the boathouse on the east shore of Spoon Lake, it's Garage Logic, with Chris Reavers manning Technology corner, Kenny Olson from the Krabby Coffee Shop, John Height in the newsroom, and of course the rookie here is your Flashlight King, fireworks commissioner, and the keeper of common sense, your mayor, Joe Susher. I was telling the boys before this that if I could set up my lawn chair anywhere in the world to watch boats, I would go right to the shore of the pinch point at the Strait of Hormuz. Because I was reading about it over the weekend and hundreds and hundreds of boats go through there. Well, ships go through there every day and apparently it's daunting. The captains have to be on their toes. You gotta stick to your lanes the whole deal. Then Kenny tells me there's an app where I could watch those boats go. Really? But it would be animation, right? Not an actual film of it.

[Kenny Olson]

Just little blips on a screen.

[Joe Soucheray]

Is anybody getting through it at the moment?

[Kenny Olson]

I noticed two ships about five, six hours ago went through on the north side of the strait, correct?

[Joe Soucheray]

Yes. And apparently Iran is letting everyone get through except Israel and the US and the Arabs. They had this.

[Matthew]

What does that mean by not letting them through?

[Joe Soucheray]

There's a blockade or I need to do more research. I don't Know how they say to a U.S. boat, you're not moving? Okay, under what? Threat of drone attack? Maybe. I don't know. But the Arabs had this figured out 40 years ago that something would. This is not a good deal to wait for this strait to close one day. They've got a pipeline under their country that goes from the strait over to the Persian Gulf.

[Matthew]

Just in case something would be some shenanigans over the next decades.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yes. So I haven't. I haven't gotten gas since the war. Where are we? I haven't.

[Matthew]

I stopped last night at 3:59.

[Kenny Olson]

I'm at 3:14 yesterday.

[Joe Soucheray]

3:14. Well, you know, that's not my number. I don't know what my 14.

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah, we went up slow for some reason.

[Joe Soucheray]

Okay, well, I don't know what my number is, but it's not 3:14.

[Matthew]

Right. Same 359.

[Joe Soucheray]

What are you gonna do?

[Matthew]

I need a gas.

[Joe Soucheray]

What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do?

[Matthew]

Yep.

[Joe Soucheray]

The president is now calling for the death of reporters who don't report the way he wants them to. You know where he gets off a lot of his insanity is when he stands in the doorway of his airplane when he's flying home from go.

[Matthew]

Yep.

[Joe Soucheray]

And he stands in the doorway and. You know, I've always said, to his credit, he'll talk to you, but if he doesn't like what you say, then you're rotten or you shaft. You should be killed.

[Kenny Olson]

Yes.

[Joe Soucheray]

Other than that, it's. He's very open about it.

[Matthew]

He'll rip your net worth.

[Joe Soucheray]

Right. And so he's. He's saying it's treasonous if you don't report the invasion of Iran favorably to him. That would be. That would be treasonous.

[Matthew]

I don't think that's what treason means.

[Joe Soucheray]

And I don't want to get. Because you report the truth of the war. I mean, that would be. Or what if you were keel hauled through the Strait of Hormuz? You know, that wouldn't be good. But he's very upset. If you report what's actually happening, if you report what he wants you to report, then you're fine, you're not treasonous, and you can continue to eat lunch.

[Matthew]

Is he running out of people that he can rely on?

[Joe Soucheray]

I don't know what the hell. He also wants the columns from the White House. He doesn't like those.

[Matthew]

Oh, I think they're stately. I think you need to have a.

[Joe Soucheray]

You know, the White House. Don, I could be wrong, but the White House was never intended to reflect its current occupant. That's not what it was for. It's the ceremonial. It's the ceremonial residence of the President. But the house represents the country. It doesn't represent the particular owner at the time. That which didn't. He didn't seem to let that bother him. He wanted to turn it into what he likes. And so he's got a lot of that gold Elvis stuff.

[Matthew]

Velvet.

[Joe Soucheray]

Velvet paintings of ducks. And so now he wants the columns gone. Yeah, that's our house.

[Matthew]

I disagree with that.

[Joe Soucheray]

That's our house. And he can't get anyone to help him in the Strait of Hormuz. And he's puzzled by that. I don't know why he should be puzzled by that. He denigrated most of the countries in the world and threatened to upend NATO. And now he's wondering, well, you know, if you get your oil from there too, you should participate. And France is saying no and Germany saying no and the UK is likely to say no. Canada has. And I feel sad about that. You know why they're turning on us, the people, because of him.

[Matthew]

Okay, I understand that.

[Joe Soucheray]

Get it?

[Matthew]

Yes.

[Kenny Olson]

How is Iran controlling the strait?

[Joe Soucheray]

John, look that up please. I am right now my fascination with just the nautical features in the maritime activity in the strait. I got carried away and down a rabbit hole and I didn't really look to. How is Iran exactly preventing an American bound tanker from leaving there? I don't know the answer to that.

[Matthew]

You think we'd have a little more protection.

[John Reaves]

Did you see anything Kenny, aside from AI overview? Deploying naval mines, leveraging fast attack boats, drones and anti ship missiles and employing electronic warfare tactics like GPS spoofing

[Joe Soucheray]

so they could let a Chinese ship through because they'll assure the Chinese captain, you're set to go. No mines in front of you. Something like that, I guess. We're not going to salt any mines on your lane. No fast attack boats will be coming for you. But they'll tell an American captain, you better hold tight. We have our sights on you. If you move we can deploy drones and we can mess with your electronics and the whole deal.

[Kenny Olson]

That's why I saw those two ships that went through. They were hugging the Iranian shore. That probably. They're probably avoiding these mines.

[Joe Soucheray]

Either that or that's the way Iran told them to go to avoid mines.

[Kenny Olson]

That's what I'm suggesting.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah. We're going to let everybody through except

[Matthew]

Israel and well, let's follow what these guys do. Follow the two Iranian ship or the Shore ships.

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, why don't we take you over there and we'll take you out to one of those boats and put you behind the wheel.

[Matthew]

I would be crying like a little school.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah.

[Matthew]

I would not be brave.

[Joe Soucheray]

So now the president wants other countries to send their warships. It sounds like, let's say that happened. Let's say France and England said, yeah, you're right, we'll send them over there. And you stuff that straight with boats. Wouldn't that just give Iran more targets to interfere with electronically?

[Kenny Olson]

So we need to shut down the electronic warfare from where it's sourced.

[Joe Soucheray]

Boy, you'd think they would think of that, wouldn't you? You think Pete would be on top of that?

[Kenny Olson]

I would hope so. If some dumbass in Douglas County.

[Joe Soucheray]

Right. Hey Pete, there's a guy up in a barn in somewhere in northern Minnesota who said, why don't you get the electronic stuff?

[Kenny Olson]

Now I feel like a real jackass.

[Joe Soucheray]

Are you going to run for office now or what?

[Kenny Olson]

I'm going to turn this microphone back off.

[Joe Soucheray]

This is, I don't like, you know what feeling we have. I have the constant feeling of uncertainty.

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah, you said that last week a couple of times.

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, it's not going away.

[Kenny Olson]

I think it's because you even during the weekend saturate yourself with local and national news, you never give yourself a break.

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, no, even if you take a break, you can't shake the feeling of uncertainty because. Because there's no stability right now in the United States. There's nothing is stable. Yeah, you're right. And it's an off putting sensation. Now the only thing I can say is I can't recall feeling certain, but I think my answer to that would be, well, when there's certainty, you just go about your business and you're fine. When there's uncertainty, it sets in. Does that make sense? Yeah. And it also turns out that the, the one of the homeinis, one of the ayatollahs we shot, we got the main guy, apparently Ayatollah Ali Maney.

[Matthew]

Yeah, right. Yep.

[Joe Soucheray]

But it turns out his kid took over. And the old man never wanted that for his kid because the kid's a dummy. The kid is a complete moron and they're even. I, I mean, he even says, well, no, he wasn't bright enough.

[Kenny Olson]

This sounds like a David Spade and Chris Farley movie. It really does.

[Joe Soucheray]

And the guy that took over the kid, he's another Manny. We don't even know if he's alive.

[Matthew]

So is he just a leader and he doesn't get the supreme because he doesn't have the.

[Joe Soucheray]

I don't know if they'd let the word supreme be used on him because dad was telling his confidants that we gotta. You know, if it ever gets down to Bill here, we're done. Cause he's a complete idiot.

[Matthew]

He doesn't know oil from Shinola.

[Joe Soucheray]

And most of these morons, despite their, you know, wearing their robes and their head gear and everything, they educate their kids elsewhere. A lot of these kids get educated at Stanford or London. This. I can't find anything on this idiot. I don't think they even sent him to school.

[Matthew]

Maybe he went to trade school.

[Joe Soucheray]

I don't know.

[Kenny Olson]

No, he's not even good.

[Joe Soucheray]

That would have been rambling to send him to trade school.

[Kenny Olson]

No, no. Credits, Community college.

[Joe Soucheray]

He can't even do that.

[Kenny Olson]

You're reading and writing.

[Joe Soucheray]

He sat or he followed dad around and dad just kept shaking his head. You're not going to amount to anything. And sure enough, they wipe out the old man. And now you got this kid, and we don't even know if he's alive. He. He apparently was injured, but we. But. And yet he keeps issuing statements which I think might be a little funny.

[Matthew]

You might think the. The board might be doing this for him.

[Joe Soucheray]

I think they got that he's dumber

[Kenny Olson]

than a bag of Ha.

[Joe Soucheray]

His name is Mojtaba Manny. And he was selected to become Iran Supreme Leader last weekend by the Council of Religious Clerics. And all of whom probably were shaking their heads in. Oh, my God. I don't want to, but I. Because Ali Mani was killed in an Israeli missile strike. So that it falls to the kid then. And that's Mojtaba. And he was believed to have been injured and has been reported to have remained in his father's inner circle. I don't know where the guy is or if he's the leader or anything, because we live in the least stable times in my memory.

[Matthew]

Yeah. Is this some type of Middle Eastern nepotism?

[Joe Soucheray]

That's nepotism automatically gets it. The people of Iran have had no say in who represents them. It's these insane religious people. The Council of Clerics. I also read who knows what you can believe anymore? But the Council of Clerics, they're very holy men. They're killing all the nurses who tried to aid the protesters.

[Matthew]

Yeah, you can't do that.

[Joe Soucheray]

It's a great outfit. I have no doubt in the world they should be wiped off the face of the earth. I just said not those nurses.

[Matthew]

You mean the guys that are doing it?

[Joe Soucheray]

Let them go. They're done. They're useless. They're horrible. But it's not working out.

[Matthew]

What would be the point of retribution? By killing those nurses? Because they aided. They took the oath. Right.

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, that's how they retain their power. With displays of brutality, an unconscionably sick behavior. And that keeps the people in line. And that way they get to continue.

[John Reaves]

I was just gonna say it wasn't the number. During the protest, they said they killed up to 30,000 protesters. The government did.

[Joe Soucheray]

Wow. Trump must have got word that the kid. The new guy.

[Matthew]

Yeah.

[Joe Soucheray]

Trump's calling him a lightweight. See, Trump's being more polite than I would be. The guy's a moron. And Trump thinks he's an unacceptable. Remember when Trump said, I'll name the new leader of Iran? That was in the first couple days. Yeah.

[Matthew]

For his services.

[Joe Soucheray]

Couple days. First couple days of the war. He was gonna offer. He was. I'll take care of you.

[Matthew]

I got you.

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, they didn't go for. They'd rather have the moron than let Trump name somebody.

[Kenny Olson]

The Supreme.

[Joe Soucheray]

The supreme moron. This Motaba mani is Iran's third supreme leader since 1979 Islamic Revolution.

[Kenny Olson]

Are we talking to Gilligan now? The Dum Dum?

[Joe Soucheray]

Yes. Okay. He's the third leader. Supreme leader. He follows his dad, and his dad apparently followed Ayatollah Ruhollah. Manny. The succession from father to son is notable because the revolution overthrew a hereditary monarchy.

[Matthew]

That was the Shah, right?

[John Reaves]

That was the Shah.

[Joe Soucheray]

That was the Shah.

[Matthew]

By the way, is the Shah still around? He's still around, isn't he? Didn't he offer to go back? I gotta see if the Shah.

[Joe Soucheray]

I don't know what happened to the Shah. That's when we had. That's what gave birth to that television show, Nightline, remember?

[Matthew]

With Ted Koppel.

[Joe Soucheray]

Ted Koppel, that what, 400 and some day capture of us people?

[John Reaves]

Rookie. Died in 1980.

[Joe Soucheray]

Oh, atta boy.

[Matthew]

Well, if he. If he was around, he'd really be. That'd be amazing, huh?

[John Reaves]

His son apparently was ready to take over.

[Joe Soucheray]

Let's see that. The Council of Clerics. They didn't like that hereditary channel.

[Matthew]

So when the Shah was around. Let me just help me on history here. The. They were the Iranians, a free people and didn't have to follow the clerics, but they still had to.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yes. More free than this current version of the country.

[Matthew]

They still had to follow Muslim laws, but they.

[Joe Soucheray]

They, you know, they didn't have to wear the outfit.

[Matthew]

Okay.

[Joe Soucheray]

You know.

[Matthew]

Okay. And once Ayatollah Khomeini came in, Shaw's gone. He's doing sharia law.

[Joe Soucheray]

And now you do what we tell you, or you get whipped or dead.

[Matthew]

Okay, whatever.

[Kenny Olson]

We should teach history or social studies at the very least.

[Matthew]

That's like the Cliff Notes, wasn't it? Basically, I summarized three decades in 37

[Joe Soucheray]

seconds, stumbling around Cliff Notes of the Cliff Notes. I have a note from somebody named Jim Engerbretson.

[Matthew]

I don't know him.

[John Reaves]

Geez.

[Joe Soucheray]

With yesterday's snowstorm, the next couple of days will be difficult for postal carriers due to cold temperatures and accumulated snow cover. While it is your custom just to let it melt on its own, please suggest to GLers to clear their mailboxes. Anyway, your continued Support of the USPS is greatly appreciated. Signed, Jim Engelbritzen, Carrier Technician. P.S. i got an instant cartoon bubble from your reporting on a state senator wishing to grant rights to wild rice. I have created a picture where he has come up with rice lives matter. Wild rice lives matter. I think that might be Ingi.

[Matthew]

I'm not sure. Maybe a cousin. Distant cousin.

[Joe Soucheray]

Now he takes a shot of me there, which is unfounded. He said, well, it is your custom to just let it melt. No, I made it perfectly clear that as tempting as it is at this time of year to just let it go, you couldn't let yesterday's snowfall go. It had to be. You had to maintain space three times with that wind because of the cold weather we're experiencing today and tomorrow and into Wednesday. So I did make one concession, though. I walked out today to look at the hump and said, the hell with it. We can get over that. I'm not shoveling the hump. I'll let that one go. But I had to do the driveway or you couldn't have got out of the garage.

[Matthew]

No. And when the plows come through, that hump can get crusty.

[Joe Soucheray]

It wasn't bad. It's low enough that I'm not going to run at it. I'm not going to deal with the hump. I got through it just fine today. The other car in the house got through it just fine. It's fine. The hump's not a problem. It was yesterday.

[Matthew]

I really must say, as a person who. We have a couple vehicles on the street, and nothing is more satisfying than after the plow goes through to park your car there to not have to worry about, are they coming By. Are they coming by? Once they come by, it's. You get to park.

[Joe Soucheray]

Where did you put them in the meantime?

[Matthew]

On the side street or in the driveway. But the driveway's on the side of the house, so it's not the most convenient to ask.

[Joe Soucheray]

I also had a note from Steve Wilson. He's our friend up in Aiken.

[Matthew]

Yes, Steve and Julie.

[Joe Soucheray]

Hail the keeper of nuts and bolts. I had the good fortune of meeting Anntle from Aiken the other day at our condo in Florida. Small world. She comes from a very well known family up there in Aiken.

[Matthew]

Okay.

[Joe Soucheray]

Must be a Summit Avenue in Aiken.

[Matthew]

I was gonna say. I don't know any Aiken people.

[Joe Soucheray]

Anyway, she had an Anguilla shirt on and I asked her where she got it. She looked at me like I was the dumbest guy on the planet. Maybe the ayatollah's kid, you know?

[Matthew]

Right. Yeah, he's right on par.

[Joe Soucheray]

And said enthusiastically, I got an Anguilla. It's my favorite spot in the world. I told her that I thought that was a make believe place because I heard it from a make believe mayor of a make believe town in a make believe county. Then I told her about the GL podcast and how it was number one in Anguilla and asked her if she ever heard of Joe Sucere or Sports Talk or Gumption County. And she got a very puzzled look and said, can't say I have.

[Matthew]

Yeah, you're not helping, Steve.

[Joe Soucheray]

Then she metaphorically asked, what's coming up on the ride. Either way, I'm glad your show is number one one in Anguilla, but I wonder if you should let the people of Anguilla know that that's Steve Wilson. Thank you, Steve.

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah, well, I think if you're driving around Anguilla, there's a picture of her here.

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, you already know this. An person is very tan.

[Kenny Olson]

Oh, yeah. Because every service station you go by with the doors up or every coffee shop you go into, GL is always

[Joe Soucheray]

playing in Gumption County. Not. Not on the outskirts of. Oh, in Anguilla. Yeah.

[Kenny Olson]

Maybe I'll talk to you tomorrow. Let's keep trying.

[Matthew]

It's Monday. It's Monday.

[Kenny Olson]

Let's keep trying. We can get through it.

[John Reaves]

Okay.

[Joe Soucheray]

We're going to keep trying. With a great note. Great note from Chris. From Hugo.

[Matthew]

Okay.

[Joe Soucheray]

Hail the flashlight King. Hail you. On Thursday's podcast, you dove deep into the source of the fraud in Minnesota. You wondered if the fraud was designed on purpose and not simply organic. Over the years, you Went as far as suggesting that some sort of powerful group of behind the scenes people got to walls at the beginning of the fraud, lightly slapped him a few times on the cheek and basically said, nothing to see here, Tim, just move on, we'll take care of you. Just nod your head and smile. So the fraud exploded under Walz's leadership because he became complicit by taking direction from this local fraud leadership group which in turn makes up a large portion of his Minneapolis voting bloc. What you are suggesting is the presence of a brotherhood that both you and Patrick described was present many, many years ago. The brotherhood that you and Patrick described back in the day was most likely made up of community business leaders and the like. Not most likely. That's exactly what it was made up of. That had the power to bend the ear of elected officials and guide political focus and economic development in Minnesota. Might I suggest that the brotherhood you and Patrick described is alive and well today, but looks very different than yesteryear and this time around has fraudulent self enriching goals. To be more specific, when I watched that secret recording of Ellison and the Somali fraudsters, it just screamed that in that recording we had a front row seat to a Brotherhood meeting where local fraudsters were bringing a high ranking electorate official to heal. Remember when we heard that in order to be elected in Minneapolis, candidates must go through the Safari Restaurant, Almost like Minneapolis candidates in campaign funding got approved by some elusive group of decision makers that were using the Safari restaurant as a 1940 style clubhouse which served as the epicenter of the new Minneapolis Brotherhood. And reading about that, the Safari restaurant has always reminded me of a certain olive oil storefront in New York city in the 40s. We all know what went on there. I believe the Minneapolis Brotherhood is alive and well, albeit its current cast of characters of very different backgrounds, methods and goals. Good luck, Chris from Hugo. That's brilliant. He's right. He's right. There is a brotherhood and it isn't a brotherhood interested in the advancement of commerce. It isn't a brotherhood interested in the welfare and overall success of the city of Minneapolis. It's a brotherhood designed to enrich few. I think that's. Well, it's brilliant. He's right. And we're now learning. Well, wait a minute. I gotta tell you something first. I don't want to do that right now. I gotta. Wait a second because it's gonna take some conversation. I want to tell you.

And down in Burnsville on the service road of life. So everything you need for the riding season, either electric bikes or gas powered two wheel stuff, man, they got it. It's great. And they have a very interesting website. Ecofunmotorsports.com back to me. Yeah. All right. I want to tell you about what Walz is up to. This is from the American Experiment. Part of the DFL's immigration is a handout of $40 million of Minnesota taxpayer money to pay people's rent. I guess Fox 9 came up with this. Lawmakers say the state has seen about 4,000 eviction filings through February indicating a record pace. And Democrats say it may get worse as a result of people staying home during the ice surge. We're on the edge of an eviction crisis in Minnesota, said Senator Lindsey Port. This bill is intended to address it all across the state to keep people and stably housed. It's Senate file 3596 and House file 3403. It would use funds drawn from a reserve initially created to reimburse homeowners whose properties were foreclosed and sold for more than they owed in property taxes. The argument is that during Operation Metro surge, some people were afraid to go to work, lost their wages and fell behind on their rent. So Minnesota taxpayers should cover the difference. The measure applies primarily people in the United States illegally Lest there be any doubt about this, Senator Eric Lucero, Republican, offered an amendment to the bill stipulating that the funds only go to individuals who are United States citizens or who otherwise have lawful immigration status. Every single Senate DFLer, including the media's, go to moderate Senator Judy Seaburger voted against it. The Marxists we have in the legislature, they used to be the DFL party. They no longer are. They want the taxpayers to cover all the bills for the illegals. Even more bizarre were the votes again by every single DFLER in the Senate to block Republican amendments which would have excluded a household that includes a person who is required to register as a predatory offender under Minnesota statutes. We don't want to do that. Give them the money, too. And a household that includes a person who has been charged with or convicted of a crime under state or federal law relating to defrauding a government program of theft of public funds. The DFLers do not want to exclude those people. They want to pay everybody. The bill is clearly a signature piece of legislation for the dfl. No sooner had the Senate voted it through, then Governor Walz himself chimed in with his support.

[Kenny Olson]

Why do they want the money to go to the baddies?

[Joe Soucheray]

Because that's who votes for them. That's my simple answer.

[Kenny Olson]

I need the in depth.

[Joe Soucheray]

Because they are democratic socialist Marxists who hold American convention in suspicion and in abeyance and would do anything in their power to upend the way America works.

[Kenny Olson]

Including empowering criminals?

[Joe Soucheray]

Yes. Including giving $40 million of your money to people who fell behind in rent. That's a tough situation. There could be ways dreamed up to address that, but these people have taken it further. And we're not excluding anyone who fell behind on the. If someone happens to be in that home who's guilty of a crime, or if someone happens to be in that home who should be tagged as a predator, we're not. Good. They get the money, too.

[Kenny Olson]

And this passed the Senate?

[Joe Soucheray]

Yes. And Wall jumped on board. He's all for it, but it will

[Kenny Olson]

not pass the House.

[Joe Soucheray]

Probably not. Probably not.

[Kenny Olson]

That's the only thing saving us, but from a lot of legislation.

[Joe Soucheray]

This is right now, this is who runs Minnesota. These people run the state of Minnesota. And they have no respect whatsoever for any tradition, decency, convention, whatever. You're harboring a criminal, we're going to pay you. If you fail, that's indefensible.

[Kenny Olson]

There's nothing you can say that will make that right.

[Matthew]

But if they're trying to be admirable, wouldn't it be more feasible to give that money to a. A loyal constituent that's in trouble and is. I'm not.

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, I just read this, Matt. You had a Republican introduce an amendment, Eric Lucero, who said, can we stipulate that the funds only go to individuals who are United States citizens or who otherwise have lawful immigration status. And Every single Senate DFLer said no.

[Matthew]

I don't understand. First of all, I don't understand why the Republicans would say that. I don't understand.

[Joe Soucheray]

No, Matt, Matt, I'm going to say it once more. Be quiet. A Senate Republican offered an amendment to say, let's only provide this bailout to lawful U.S. citizens or people with lawful U.S. immigration status. Get the money. The Democrats said, no, if you're unlawful, you get the money.

[Matthew]

It's all bass ackwards.

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, no kidding. But you said, why would a Republican do that? Well, a Republican's doing that because it makes sense. A Republican is offering an amendment saying, we don't like that you want to give the money to criminals. We're here to say, let's just give it to US Citizens.

[Matthew]

That part I do understand. But I'm saying, why even bring it up in the first place?

[Kenny Olson]

Thank goodness the House is evenly split and it has no chance in the House. But, man, the fact that it's even out there and that it passed the Senate is shocking.

[Joe Soucheray]

Is it really?

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah, it really is. There's no. That is absolutely indefensible, Joe. I mean, you could argue all day long about the, you know, creating another $40 million program to throw after Frau. I mean, that's a fun argument. We could talk about that all day. But letting the criminals benefit from this and refusing to discuss it because you

[Joe Soucheray]

are governed by a democratic socialist body that believes that those criminals are merely the victims of oppression.

[Kenny Olson]

How can they even look themselves in the mirror?

[Joe Soucheray]

They're proud, failed academy proselytizers.

[Kenny Olson]

I don't understand how you could. How you could, in your mind, make that work, rationalize that.

[Joe Soucheray]

If you read me the list of the DFLers, I could explain individually why everyone could come up with that.

[Matthew]

Is it going to come to. You need to take a test in order to become a legislator and really work on these things that have to do with your constituents on a daily basis.

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, that'd be nice, but that's. I don't think they would vote.

[Kenny Olson]

Dreaming of Matthew. Come on. That makes too much sense.

[Joe Soucheray]

I do not think they would vote to create that for themselves.

[Kenny Olson]

That's like term limits and you know,

[Joe Soucheray]

why don't we take a time out and take a breath here? Soon as you hit that button.

[Matthew]

I like the casual.

[Joe Soucheray]

Here's a man who spends hours in hardware stores sifting through the nuts and bolts of life, Joe Sugiray.

[Kenny Olson]

We have GL ers all over, including Oklahoma. That's where Rick lives. He sent us a video video of a YouTuber mechanic that used Seafoam engine treatment for the very first time to stop an engine from surging. You know what? We all know what's going to happen here, so I'll just jump right to the end. Big surprise. It worked. It worked well. It's always fun seeing Seafoam correct an ill running engine by cleaning the carbs or the injectors. It's also fun. I've had a few people send me negative Seafoam so stuff. And it's always fun watching these guys telling me that Seafoam doesn't work when I've been using it successfully for years and years and years, long before Seafoam came on as a partner here at gl. Good try, folks, but you can't tell a Seafoam doesn't work when we've been using it for years. But it was only after they came on board that I learned of a lot of really creative ways to use Seafoam. Thanks to GL ers and the website, it's more than just putting your cylinders to bed or waking them up. It cleans all the passageways in the top end of the engine. And if you dump it in the crankcase, it helps break loose all the carbon and sticky gunk that builds up after years and years. And the great thing about Seafoam, it's available all over, everywhere, and truly a wonderful product in a world of bad gas.

[Joe Soucheray]

CFO John, I'm still collecting my thoughts. We are going to go to you. Okay. And this is John Haidt, and he is in our newsroom.

[John Reaves]

Before I do that, I did find an excuse the Democratic sponsor that bill gave.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah, who is the Democratic sponsor?

[John Reaves]

It's not a very good excuse. I will say that it was authored by DFL Senator Lindsey Port. And when Lucero tried to amend it to ensure all the US Citizens and legal residents can use the rental assistance funds, Port lobbied against the Lucero amendment saying, quote, the Trump administration could rescind legal status for various groups on a whim. So it's.

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, the big problem the state faces is if you campaign for common sense, that means you're pro Trump. That's the problem in Minnesota.

[John Reaves]

You know, that's a good point. That kind of makes your point right there.

[Joe Soucheray]

See, you can be opposed to walls and you can be opposed Democratic, socialist, Marxist. That doesn't mean you're pro Trump. It means you're trying to get this state back into a mechanism of responsibility and logic.

[Matthew]

Shame on you, Joe.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah, but that just means you're pro Trump.

[Matthew]

Right? Didn't know that about you.

[Joe Soucheray]

In this state. That's what it means.

[Matthew]

Didn't know that about you. Let me write that down, Joe.

[John Reaves]

Pro Trump.

[Kenny Olson]

The problem with trying to get the state back to working the way it should is we haven't even started yet. The pendulum isn't even swinging that way. We're still going away from common sense.

[Joe Soucheray]

Right.

[Kenny Olson]

As shown in this bill.

[Joe Soucheray]

This bill tells you that. Yeah. More on that bill after John's news.

[John Reaves]

I know, but it's got me thinking.

[Joe Soucheray]

I know, me too.

[John Reaves]

Let's, let's move into the news here. The big news over the weekend. Of course, it was a snowy weekend here in Minnesota. As of 5 this morning, totals ranged from 5 to 14 inches around the TW city's metro. Some areas farther south and east reported over 20 inches of snow. Only got 2 inches of snow in Duluth. The northern suburbs up here where I live got between 8 and 9 inches.

[Joe Soucheray]

I'm going with the foot.

[John Reaves]

Southern, you'd be about right. It sounds like the southern suburbs. Apple Valley, 14 inches. Zumbro Falls, 20 inches. This all shouldn't last too long. Cold today and tomorrow, but 40s on Wednesday and Thursday and into the 50s Friday and Saturday. Lots of highways during all of this in southwest Minnesota, work closed but MnDOT says as of 9:30 this morning everything opened but still a lot of snow impacted areas. They were still advising as of mid morning no travel in parts of southern Minnesota even though the roads were open. The state Patrol reported over 450 property damage crashes, 40 injury crashes, one fatality, 46 spin outs and over 650 vehicles off the road during the weekend snowstorm. Meanwhile, things at the airport. Airport yes, I'm looking at you rook. Starting to return to normal as of Monday morning. As of 8am Only about 60 flights in and out of MSP have been canceled with the vast majority remaining on time.

[Matthew]

I will say from my experience this morning started at about five o' clock and it was. Terminal one was a well oiled machine. Terminal two was good. I think sun country had some trouble in their lobby due to staff positions, but everything else, everybody came early and it was not a mad rush. Fest at the airport.

[Joe Soucheray]

The last plane in Saturday night Sunday morning was 12:30am Sunday and that carried the Toronto Maple Leafs who then beat the Wild.

[Kenny Olson]

Humiliated the Wild yesterday. John, I do have an update that no travel advisory that you mentioned will be lifted by 1pm for all state highways.

[Joe Soucheray]

Perfect.

[John Reaves]

So stories like that on podcasts I never really know how to handle. So I just do it the way I do it.

[Joe Soucheray]

Somebody might get that in July. Exactly.

[John Reaves]

Or next Friday it'll be 50 degrees and I'm wondering why. I'm saying no travel. Minneapolis and St. Paul Public Schools are closed today. Elementary students at Minneapolis public have no classes while middle and high school students have e Learning in St. Paul. Classes for all students are cancelled after school. Events and activities at both districts will also be canceled. Nearly 200 schools remain across the state have canceled class or move to elearning amid the heavy snowfall.

[Joe Soucheray]

I was around parents last night who were absolutely despondent at the news.

[Matthew]

Yes.

[Joe Soucheray]

I just said oh no, oh no.

[Matthew]

You know this is. Well it was an event but it did not warrant closing every single state.

[Joe Soucheray]

And I'll tell you something else. I got news for you. It was pretty weak compared to the Halloween blizzard.

[Kenny Olson]

Yes.

[Matthew]

I went in there on Sunday morning and at 4:15 every flight was. I couldn't believe it. Every flight inbound and outbound had canceled. Next to it.

[Kenny Olson]

You two living there in the city? Joe and Matthew, how was your street plowing?

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, we had a guest last night from Chicago who had to park about three blocks away and then call and one of the four wheel drive vehicles went to get him and he said don't you people pay taxes? We had a plow rumble through about 10 o' clock last night.

[Matthew]

South St. Paul was pristine.

[Kenny Olson]

You guys would not like living in the country.

[Joe Soucheray]

What time did you get plow this morning?

[Kenny Olson]

Just plan on them not showing up. That's how, that's. You've got to be self sufficient here. They finally did my gravel road this morning.

[Joe Soucheray]

Do you have a truck?

[Kenny Olson]

I do, I plowed yesterday.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah, I set you up there for your answer.

[Kenny Olson]

No, actually that's kind of a hurtful question right now because I used the plow truck yesterday for hours and this morning it won't start.

[Matthew]

He wrote her hard and put her away with it.

[Joe Soucheray]

He did.

[Kenny Olson]

Battery, alternator, starter, I don't know.

[John Reaves]

Let me give a big thumbs up to the Andover folks because I went out to shovel Sunday morning at 7:30 30 and they had already plowed my street which meant of course I had to shovel out the, you know, bottom of the driveway. But that's okay.

[Joe Soucheray]

Not in St. Paul. You, you just, you just hold tight. They'll get to it.

[John Reaves]

Political candidate Andy Dinah, Airbnb host who tossed a tarantula toward a tenant, has been found guilty on three criminal charges after a brief trial.

[Joe Soucheray]

This is our gal.

[Matthew]

Yeah, she was on a crazy matrix.

[John Reaves]

32 year old Marisha Simon Eddie, one time guest on the Garage Logic podcast.

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, let's show you what we know.

[Matthew]

You don't have to report everything, John.

[Joe Soucheray]

Oh, I'm sorry. Was convicted.

[John Reaves]

Always people complaining. We report the facts, you know. Was convicted on charges of gross misdemeanor harassment, misdemeanor domestic assault and disorderly conduct in connection with her actions leading up to a June 21, 2024 arrest. According to the complaints, how many began acting erratically toward a woman who was renting out the basement of her home and was studying for the bar exam. After the guest suggest hiring pest control to deal with large spiders in the basement on June 20, the guest called police because Simonetti had intercepted her grocery delivery and refused to hand the items over. The next day, hell, the next day the guest called 911 multiple times saying she was being harassed by Simon Eddie. At first, the guest reported Simon Eddie clanging pots and pans upstairs while she was trying to study. Simone Eddie had also shut off Internet to the home and the guest reported feeling scared. Two hours later, the guest called 911 again to report Simone Eddy and a man identified in charging documents as Michael held and taken apart the door leading to the basement and had gotten through. The guest left her laptop out at the bottom of the stairs to record what was happening as she hid in her room. When police got there, they discovered pins, tacks, nails, a live tarantula which was moving around and appeared to be the contents of a terrarium dumped down the stick stairs along with some small toys. Police also noted a foul odor near the top of the stairs. The victim's video showed Simon Eddie throwing the tarantula from a container and spraying something on the steps. She then throws the tax and other items down the stairwell. Audio captures Simon Eddy yelling and hooting about Jesus before commenting about the tarantula that I just bought. Simonetti has also heard commenting about a spider infestation and saying, this is why you never bothered bleep with Marissa Simonetti.

[Joe Soucheray]

Let's have her on again.

[Matthew]

Yeah, let's do that. I. I was taken to task yesterday by some gals that hadn't listened to the podcast at the time. We had her on, but now our big fans. Why did you have her on?

[Joe Soucheray]

We don't know.

[Matthew]

We didn't know at the time that she was.

[Joe Soucheray]

I didn't know she was.

[Kenny Olson]

You know, it might have been. Might have been Chris's doing.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah, she's.

[Kenny Olson]

And it might have been just based on appearances only. Yeah, but I remember when you guys had her on your show and.

[Joe Soucheray]

Wait a minute.

[Kenny Olson]

I was listening at home.

[Joe Soucheray]

No, no, you were part of my

[Kenny Olson]

own business listening at home.

[Joe Soucheray]

In fact, I think we were championing her as a. The kind of candidate we need. Who.

[John Reaves]

Let's go.

[Joe Soucheray]

How did we find you?

[Kenny Olson]

Remember when we had her on, she kind of sounded like she just decided to run one minute before we called her.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yes.

[Kenny Olson]

She was just making up on the fly. Right.

[Joe Soucheray]

That was wonderful.

[John Reaves]

She is running again.

[Joe Soucheray]

Oh, good. Let's vote for.

[John Reaves]

She is running for election to the u. S. Senate to represent Minnesota.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah.

[John Reaves]

She declared her candidacy for the general election that's scheduled on November 3, 2026. And she ran for. What did she run for? I'm trying to see, but I can't.

[Joe Soucheray]

Running for a state senate seat.

[Kenny Olson]

China.

[John Reaves]

It was general election. U. S. Senate.

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah.

[John Reaves]

I don't know.

[Joe Soucheray]

Do we.

[John Reaves]

Have she lost?

[Matthew]

Do we have an update on her companion or whoever he had mark held?

[Joe Soucheray]

He's embarrassed.

[Matthew]

Yeah. Does he stand by her side or does he. Long gone. We don't know.

[Kenny Olson]

Only after one in the morning.

[Matthew]

Got it. Understood.

[Kenny Olson]

I know how she can be guaranteed a victory, Joe. It's really easy.

[Joe Soucheray]

Just be a democrat. Well, that's true. She'll win. Yeah.

[John Reaves]

The mall of america's top floor hooters restaurant and bar will close this month, bringing its long run as an original MOA tenant to a close. Last day of service Sunday, March 22. After last call, there'll be no more hooters left in all of Minnesota. Denver based restaurants of america inc. Which operates the mall of america location cited stiff competition plus record high inflation and costs. And deciding to close, I knew somebody would. Restaurants of america owns other firm franchise restaurants in Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico. Companies said the overall business is financially stable and it is closing locations that negate their overall profitability.

[Kenny Olson]

You know, when it opened, John, I

[Joe Soucheray]

think, well, if it's an original tenant, it'd be 92.

[Kenny Olson]

August of 92. Do you think any of the same waitresses that started at Hooters in 92 are still there? Let's see. That's.

[Matthew]

Yes. But even though they were on the oh, 12.

[Kenny Olson]

So it'd be 35 years later, they'd be about 60. Well, they.

[Matthew]

Kenny, they started on level three, but now they're on level one. Those gills are on level one right now.

[Joe Soucheray]

No, you know what? You can have your fun, you know, you want to keep it up.

[Kenny Olson]

Maybe if they just.

[Joe Soucheray]

But that's a bad sign. That's.

[Kenny Olson]

Change the name of the restaurant, Joe, to maybe Drew Troopers.

[Joe Soucheray]

But that's a sign that. That's a sign that nothing's working here. Nothing's. You know.

[Kenny Olson]

Hooters.

[John Reaves]

Yes.

[Joe Soucheray]

I've never been there, but I was glad there was a Hooters. Okay.

[Matthew]

Because that puts us on the map like a.

[Joe Soucheray]

No, you're missing the point. It's just another business that's saying the hell with the people around here. They're. They're not showing up. The hell with it. Let's get out of here.

[John Reaves]

Doesn't. Joe. Defending a Mall of America place, huh?

[Joe Soucheray]

How about you sound kind of like.

[Kenny Olson]

It sounds like you're taking over for Chris Reavers when he talks about downtown Minneapolis.

[Joe Soucheray]

Oh, God, that's hurtful.

[Matthew]

Playing the role of Chris Reavers today.

[Joe Soucheray]

It's hurtful. It is.

[John Reaves]

Oh, okay. Let's move along here.

[Matthew]

And actually, I bet if Reavers was here, he'd have a good Hooters story or two, wouldn't he? You know, or something.

[John Reaves]

Have we all been there? I've never been.

[Kenny Olson]

I've never been to.

[Joe Soucheray]

Never been? No.

[Matthew]

If I would have been by myself, it would have been sad. I never would have dragged a family over there. Let's go to Hooters. They've got really good chicken breasts.

[Kenny Olson]

Well, why not just go to King of Diamonds for the brunch?

[John Reaves]

That's good.

[Kenny Olson]

I mean, if that's what you want.

[Matthew]

Saturdays.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah.

[Matthew]

First Saturday.

[John Reaves]

Now, changing topics. Completely. Completely. Nationally and international news in the Middle East. Israel launching a wave of new airstrikes against Iran and Lebanon yesterday, claiming more than 7,000 strikes since the war between began. The country says it plans to hit thousands of additional targets, anticipating at least three more weeks of hostilities. The updates come as the US Military struck Kharg island, vital to Iran's oil industry. The US And Iran said those strikes did not impact Iran's oil infrastructure. However, President Trump threatened further action if Iran continues to block the Strait of Hormuz, which normally transports about 20% of the world's oil. The President called on China, China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK and others to help secure ship's passage. So far, though, no movement in that direction from any of those countries. Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragashi denied Trump's claim that the country is interested in a ceasefire. He also said Russia and China were providing Iran with military cooperation. Story you talked about earlier, Joe Brendan Carr, the chairman of the fcc, threatened on Saturday to revoke broadcasters license licenses over their coverage of the war with Iran.

[Joe Soucheray]

They told the truth as the war

[John Reaves]

entered its third week.

[Joe Soucheray]

Lock em up.

[John Reaves]

Carr accused broadcasters of, quote, writing hoaxes and news distortions in a social media post and warned them to correct course before their license renewals come up. He shared a truth social post by President Trump that criticized the news media for its coverage of the war with Iran. Specifically, he referred to as story by the Wall Street Journal. Dow Jones and Company, which publishes the Wall Street Journal, did not respond to a request for comment. In a similar vein, this started last week with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. He complained about CNN's coverage of the war in the Middle east during a news conference, saying he looked forward to the news network being controlled by David Ellison. Ellison, who has a friendly relationship with the president, is the owner of Paramount Skydance, which is seeking to buy Warner Brothers discovery for $111 billion. That deal, if it closes, would bring CNN under Ellison's purview. He's best known in the journalism world for shaking up leadership at CBS News, where longtime journalists are resigning after Barry Weiss took over the head spot there. Since taking over the FCC chairmanship at the start of Trump's term, Carr has regularly raised the possibility of seizing station licenses over various programming decisions at major television television networks.

[Joe Soucheray]

So Carr is just one of Trump's bimbos.

[John Reaves]

Yeah.

[Matthew]

So I'd love, basically, yeah, I think running the fcc, I'd want somebody a little more, a little more integrity than that, huh?

[John Reaves]

Richard Grinnell on that?

[Matthew]

I'm sorry.

[John Reaves]

Well, it goes without saying.

[Joe Soucheray]

I think it, I think you weren't really out on a limb there.

[John Reaves]

Richard Grinnell is stepping down from his role as the interim head of the Kennedy center before the venue closes down for major renovations. Grinnell, former ambassador who also serves as Trump's envoy for special Missions, will be replaced by Matt Floca, vice president of the Kennedy center for the Performing Arts, the president said in a social media post. Trump, whose administration has affixed his name to the venue in apparent violation of the law and has taken over programming by replacing the center's leadership. So if Loco will oversee renovations scheduled to start this year. The president's personal involvement in Kennedy center leadership has led to fundraising problems, prompting the president to bring in A longtime supporter. To shore up the center's finances, numerous artists canceled performances there before the president closed the center. After the president first announced plans to rebuild, he told reporters the project won't be a complete teardown of the Washington landmark, but would instead be a renovation that preserved some elements of the existence existing building. At the Oscars last night, one battle after another, the big winner taking home the ceremony's top prize for best Picture.

[Joe Soucheray]

That was a hell of a movie.

[John Reaves]

Along with five other awards including best Director for Paul Thomas Anderson, Best Supporting Actor for Sean Penn, and Best Adapted Screenplay. The other big winner of the night was Sinners, which won four awards including best Actor for Michael B. Jordan and Best Original Screenplay. Jessie Buckley continued her sweep this awards season, winning best actress for her role in Hamnet.

[Joe Soucheray]

The One Battle After Another is the only nominated film I saw and it won.

[John Reaves]

You know, I saw Sinners at One Battle after Another, so I guess I saw.

[Joe Soucheray]

Is Sinners any good?

[John Reaves]

I don't think you'd like it. I loved it.

[Joe Soucheray]

I probably wouldn't. Well, what is it? Is it about sinning?

[John Reaves]

No, no, it's. It's set in the 30s during Jim Crow and it turns into a vampire movie.

[Joe Soucheray]

And the allegories.

[John Reaves]

Yeah, the allegories are very rich, shall we say. It's a blues music.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah.

[Matthew]

Are we to make anything about Sean Penn snubbing the Oscars?

[Joe Soucheray]

He was at the. He's at Ukraine budding up to Zielinski.

[John Reaves]

Yeah, he. He was quite good.

[Joe Soucheray]

Oh God, he should have won. He was unbelievably good.

[John Reaves]

If you saw that, you saw the Joe. How about the scene where DiCaprio's character is talking to the guy on the phone together? Revolutionary.

[Joe Soucheray]

I love it.

[John Reaves]

Oh my God, it was so funny.

[Joe Soucheray]

I'm surprised DiCaprio didn't win. I think he should have won too.

[John Reaves]

Michael B. Jordan was really good.

[Joe Soucheray]

I'm sure, I'm sure I didn't see it. So I can't say.

[Matthew]

Sean Penn says despite indoor smoking bands, he has an addiction and he won't quit even calling it job security for oncologists.

[Joe Soucheray]

Oh, that's very smart of him.

[Matthew]

It's not quite like Patrick's aluminum mining jobs of the future, but. Okay.

[John Reaves]

Well, it's the melon camp thing. Two heart attacks. He said, I put die with a cigarette in my hand. Yeah. So.

[Kenny Olson]

But the fact that he considers himself so special that he figures he can smoke. Yeah, that's really off putting.

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, he's not going to beat it, so he'll keep an oncologist in business.

[Kenny Olson]

Yeah, but he was at an awards ceremony a couple of weeks ago where he was puffing indoors the whole time.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah, I. I don't care, really. Tell you this truth, you're gonna lose any sleep over it.

[Kenny Olson]

No, I do, Joe. I'm one of those ex smokers that think all smokers are evil and I can't stand this. Okay? That's not true.

[John Reaves]

Outrage the black bear if you haven't seen this, you should go watch it because it's kind of fun just to watch. First 30 seconds a black bear unexpectedly wandered into the background of a live KTLA report Sunday morning as Cruz covered an earlier bear encounter in a Monrovian area. Neighborhood reporter Aaron Myers was teasing the upcoming story at the top of the 9am Broadcast when the animal appeared behind her in the driveway of a home. The property where the trap is set, in the 700 block of Oak Clay Drive, is where residents say a bear has been living underneath the house. The homeowner, who declined to appear on camera, told the TV station the animal is believed to be a mother bear with a cub and that they've been living there for several months. Officials with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife are on the scene monitoring the the bear and trying to traffic traffic. Authorities also are investigating whether the bear is connected to a recent encounter in which a woman walking her dog in the neighborhood was swiped on the leg. The woman suffered only minor injuries and is expected to recover. The bear, by the way, just kind of wandered away down the neighborhood, so the reporter was in no danger. But it was it was kind of fun to see. Since the war began in the Middle east, the phone at Radio Ron Hubbard's bomb shelter company in Texas hasn't stopped ringing. Foreign and US Clients are rushing to buy his bunkers, seeking refuge in case of air raids, nuclear fallout or apocalypse. With the United States and Israel bombing Iran and Tehran retaliating with strikes across the region, Hubbard says he's seen a big demand for his product soar, mostly from Gulf Nation clients in barracks Qatar, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, he said. You can imagine how many people are thinking, I really wish I had a bomb shelter. The respect and demand for the product right now is really at an all time high, he said, like he's never seen it before. But with missiles hitting US Targets, the Middle east and violence on the rise domestically, he said, Americans also are worried. On a recent morning, a client from Florida called Hubbard to inquire about a shelter for 10 people. Basic background bunker housing four people underground for up to a week while shielding them from any radiation would cost about $25,000. More sophisticated models designed for year long stays can cost millions of dollars depending on how much food, energy and water they end up stocked with.

[Joe Soucheray]

If the big one really hits, what good does it do you to be in a bombshell shelter when you come out? There's. It's the road. There's nothing there. Go. The hell with it.

[Matthew]

No water.

[Joe Soucheray]

Just get me to Yarmo's and I'll just wait it out, you know,

[John Reaves]

Depending on the budget, the interior can resemble a small apartment with a living room and a tv. Although if the big one dropped, well, I guess you could stream. Huh, A bedroom? Well, no, you couldn't either be. No Internet.

[Joe Soucheray]

There'd be nothing, John. So, you know, what good does it do you to live in a basement with about 10 cans of a soup?

[Kenny Olson]

Big deal. How fun would it be though, to be the very last person on earth all alone?

[Joe Soucheray]

I don't think it'd be fun at all.

[Kenny Olson]

Oh my God, it would be the best.

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, you couldn't go anywhere or do anything. Why everything would be destroyed. No. Yeah. The roads would be full of potholes. Nah.

[John Reaves]

You know.

[Joe Soucheray]

Nah.

[Matthew]

Overgrowth.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah.

[John Reaves]

Great, great song intro. We're gonna have a good time. A summer smoker on the lawn. It's just a dugout that my dad built in. The Russians decide to push the button down. There we go.

[Joe Soucheray]

Who wrote that, John?

[John Reaves]

Donald Fagan. New Frontier.

[Joe Soucheray]

Oh boy, that's great.

[John Reaves]

See what I tell you before the show.

[Joe Soucheray]

Okay, John.

[John Reaves]

Okay, John. And let's see, we got one more story now.

[Joe Soucheray]

Just do one more, one more, one more.

[John Reaves]

Johnny, a very bored fella has completed a quest to park in all the spots at his local grocery store in Great Britain. Five years after accomplishing the same feat at another branch, 44 year old Gareth Wild previously spent six years mapping out every spot at his local supermarket in Bromley, southeast London, before he finished up the task in 2021. Well, then he and his family moved to Wiltshire in 2024 and he decided decided it was time to kick off the challenge again. At his local grocer's, Sainsbury's, he mapped out all 100.

[Joe Soucheray]

You can stop. You can stop. No, that's. I can't actually.

[Kenny Olson]

That was really, really good because it brought up a whole bunch of questions in my mind that I'd love to flesh out here over the next 1520.

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, why isn't he locked up somewhere is what my question would be.

[Kenny Olson]

My question is, don't you have your favorite parking spot like say at work?

[Joe Soucheray]

And.

[Kenny Olson]

And I'm not directing this at you, Joe, and trying to out you in any way I had when I work down there. Look at the look on Joe's face. I because I got there early every day, the same spot every single day. And if somebody was in that spot when I pulled into the lot at 5am it ruined my whole day. I was angry all day.

[Joe Soucheray]

I live by one rule, never be an optimist in a parking lot. Yeah, I take the first spot I see and I always start by providing me the longest walk to the.

[John Reaves]

There you go.

[Joe Soucheray]

To the establishment.

[Kenny Olson]

You don't circle.

[Joe Soucheray]

I don't circle. I'm not a circle.

[John Reaves]

I refuse to circle.

[Joe Soucheray]

Never be an optimist. Take the first spot you see.

[Matthew]

I will wear my tires down to a nub trying to find a better spot.

[John Reaves]

I will pull up to say cub food and there can be a hundred open spaces but I'll park 300ft away from them just because I like to walk.

[Joe Soucheray]

Me too, you guys.

[Kenny Olson]

Me too. Don't like fun.

[Joe Soucheray]

No.

[Matthew]

Do you do the missing Kenny? Do you do the mission impossible? As you're driving through, you see somebody coming out and you're.

[Joe Soucheray]

Am I right on their heels?

[Kenny Olson]

Yes.

[Joe Soucheray]

Say, I want to speak to you about Bradshawn Bryant, personal injury attorney. Attorneys, insurance companies and adjusters can be difficult to deal with. So you need somebody on your side. You need a team. Mike Bryant from Bradshaw and Bryant and his team are there to explain your rights, represent you, help you through a tough time. For six consecutive years, Mike Bryant has been recognized as a super lawyer and has been named Among Minnesota's top 40 personal injury lawyers by Minnesota law and politics. That is the bible for those designations. I hope you're never in an accident accident. But if you are, call Bradshaw and Bryant at 800-770-7008 or go to MinnesotaTapersonAlinjury.com for a free case evaluation. And please don't be a part of the problem. Don't text and drive or drive distracted. That's just common sense from Bradshaw and Bryant. Fighting the demagogues of diversity.

[Matthew]

It's Joe Suzerain.

[John Reaves]

Quick trigger finger there. Before we go any further, please let me mention because they're kind enough to do this every day. Our news was brought to you by North American Banking company. Thanks, fellas.

[Joe Soucheray]

Let's go back to the walls. Backing the Senate DFL plan to pay people 40 million bucks of your money if they fell behind in the rent, including those who have broken the law or should be labeled as a predator, for example. And the. The great email from Chris saying that the new Brotherhood is. Are the thieves. The old Brotherhood was, in fact, business leaders. That would be true the closer you get to the country's tallest buildings in any city in the country. And I suppose they got a lot of things done. The dome, as bad as it was, kept teams alive here. But that's a Brotherhood example. They needed a. Look, everybody, we're building a dome, whether you like it or not. Because these teams are important to the financial health of the city. So the dome got built and.

[Matthew]

Big tall dazzle, maybe. I mean, just to get people downtown, probably.

[Joe Soucheray]

I mean, you go back far enough, it was the Brotherhood that saw the town get decorated for Christmas, for example. Okay? All of those things have been defeated by the new Brotherhood. It has come to pass that the old Brotherhood was viewed as just white males who oppressed people, even though what they really did is just. They were constantly urging the financial health of the city, which benefited a lot of people, principally them. But so what? To help the city work. Now, the new Brotherhood is, you know, Keith Ellison and his band of fraudsters who have just figured out ways to just rob the taxpayers blind. Allegedly. Okay?

[Matthew]

Allegedly is in there. Allegedly is normal.

[Joe Soucheray]

But the difference is the new Brotherhood has nothing to do with. Do with improving anybody's life. The old Brotherhood, whether they intended to or not, improved the lives of the civilians in the city. It improved the financial health and the commerce of the entire city. Their motives might not have been altruistic, but that was the natural fault of what they were up to, right?

[Matthew]

They were bringing in commerce.

[Joe Soucheray]

Now, the Brotherhood are people who, A, we don't know who they are, and B, they have nothing in mind except self enrichment. They have nothing in mind except bringing an end to any thought that commerce is important. They don't care about that if they get theirs. They're a far more dastardly group than the original Brotherhood was.

[Kenny Olson]

In my eyes, they're made. The new Brotherhood is made up of activists.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah, they're activists and they don't. What they're active about has nothing to do with success. It has nothing to do with the success of a city. It has to do with undermining that which used to make a city successful. That's the difference in the two Brotherhoods. The original Brotherhoods. Anywhere in the country. Country. Well, look it. New York's gone from having a Brotherhood to now a Marxist mayor. Minneapolis has gone from a Brotherhood to now having Marxist council members. St. Paul, to a degree, had a brotherhood. It doesn't have one anymore. Where am I going with this? Where I'm going with it is it's even to the point where. Where the current brotherhood, which are these phony progressives because the word means progress and they offer no progress. They would excuse criminals. They want criminals to get the 40 million in relief to pay their rents. And if that isn't enough, they say if you're unfortunate enough to even have a job job, we'll give you 20 weeks a year off. We passed a bill in the Senate that you don't even have to work. What is it, 12 weeks for each individual or something like that?

[Matthew]

12 weeks for a baby and then you get up to 20. So eight weeks to care for someone if you need to.

[Joe Soucheray]

So if you're victimized by having a job that's provided to you by one of these evil oppressors, we'll provide you 20 weeks a year when you don't even have to show up work is a terrible inconvenience to the progressives. You shouldn't have to work. You shouldn't have to pay your rent. You shouldn't have to be responsible for anything because we're all victims of the evil white founding of the country and how it came about. And it's completely unfair and we're all getting robbed and therefore. But still, see, you need the 40 million bucks from the people who still work and pay the taxes. Texas, you need the 40 million.

[Matthew]

Where do we get that?

[Joe Soucheray]

To give away the people who you don't think should work. What's going to happen?

[Kenny Olson]

Why do they continue to alienate us then?

[Joe Soucheray]

What's going to happen when you don't have that 40 million?

[Kenny Olson]

We move away.

[Matthew]

The pot Is dry, is empty.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah, you're going to go to the well one time in the not too distant future. You're not going to have any money to. You're not going to have other people's money to give to people.

[John Reaves]

People.

[Joe Soucheray]

So then what are you. That's why this has never worked anywhere in the world. It never will. And yet we're going to. We're hellbound to try it here. We're going to beat it till it's dead on the tracks. We're going to try this until we just have exhausted all means of funding it. It's just. It's ridiculous. It's just the way it is. And Minnesota is the worst state in the union for this.

[John Reaves]

This.

[Joe Soucheray]

I don't know why any Young family would even live in this state? I really have no idea.

[Kenny Olson]

Remember Rick Cupchella's piece? A precarious state where he gets chug tie down there in front of the closed up Calhoun Square. Remember what she said?

[Joe Soucheray]

I can't remember.

[Kenny Olson]

This was our goal. We wanted this. This is how we reset. We took away all the parking, we killed retail in uptown.

[Joe Soucheray]

And.

[Kenny Olson]

And this is all part of the plan. This killing business is part of the plan?

[Joe Soucheray]

Well, the plan is to completely reinvent the landscape without evil oppressors providing you the job. So that means what? Well, you're about a year, two or three or four away from exhausting all possible funding for your absurd plan. It can't happen.

[John Reaves]

Happen.

[Joe Soucheray]

No one can stay here and pay taxes with this kind of leadership. No one.

[Kenny Olson]

And meanwhile the owner of those vacant buildings can't pay for them. So they either go back to the bank or they get sold. And it just goes on and on and on and they don't solve anything.

[Joe Soucheray]

You can complain all you want about the old brotherhood. You can say, well, they were male and they were white and they had big banks and big insurance companies and big businesses. Look what they did. They built a. Those big office towers. Yeah, and those office hours were full of people raising families. They made money. And now you have nothing. They're selling gorgeous real estate in Minneapolis for pennies on the dollar. You've hollowed out everything that would contribute to the development of commerce and wealth for everyone. And you've done it out of your bitterness for the fact that people actually got rich doing this. They couldn't abide by that. And they have no experience themselves because they're all only professional activists. They've never worked, they've never met a payroll, they've never had to hire and fire. They've never done anything. They're renters. If they own a car, it's probably reluctantly and they won't admit it. And they believe in public transportation. They have no grand view of America, no beautiful view of America. They only see problems. Darkness. They see darkness. They are dark people. And it's just. It's killing the state. And in this governor, they found the perfect foil. He doesn't know if he's on foot or horseback. He just goes along with them. And here we are.

[John Reaves]

Here we are.

[Joe Soucheray]

And Kenny said something earlier. This isn't being turned around yet. If there ever is a yet, we haven't reached it. This isn't being turned around. Look, you had a Republican Lucero introduce an amendment to this ridiculous $40 million bill that says, well, can we at least give the money in rent relief to people who are legal U.S. citizens or have legal U.S. immigration status? No, we can't do that because Trump. That's why we can't do that. So the state has compounding the state from beginning to turn this around is the vitriol for Trump. They fear that if they do anything like Lucero's amendment, that would show they think that makes them pro Trump. The two have nothing to do with each other. It's destroying this state and Trump can't be let off the hook for that. He's destructive in nature for what he's egging it on, what he's done. We're in a bad place. We are in a bad, bad place nationally.

[Kenny Olson]

Do you know Kathryn Kirsten?

[Joe Soucheray]

Sure.

[Kenny Olson]

She has an interesting piece in the American Experiment Today. Headline. For years, Walls has been priming students to become activists.

[Joe Soucheray]

I read it.

[Kenny Olson]

And of course, those activists, they turn into politicians and, and they end up running our states and our counties and our cities. And there's not a Republican equivalent to that, is there? No, Republicans don't raise activists. They raise business people, people that get things done in the world.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah. It would have been unheard of when I was in high school to walk out of the school. And today, not an option. The kids have carte blanche to walk out of school to complain about something.

[Kenny Olson]

We face discipline on two different levels. Whatever discipline we get at school, which would be nothing compared to what we get at home.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah. And now I don't think they're getting the discipline in either place.

[Kenny Olson]

I think they get encouraged to walk out.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah. So that's where we are, folks. I'm still trying not to talk about fraud, but I can't help it. The legislature keeps coming up with it. Not to mention the 40 million will be fraudulently dispatched. It will be. If it passes. Maybe it won't. The house might say no and it'll die on the vine. But it's one hell of a weird trial balloon for them to send up. Hey, here's our new idea. Idea. Let's take $40 million of our over taxed taxpayers that pay in and let's give that money to people who didn't pay their rent. And they'll hide behind the fact that, well, the metro surge was here, it was difficult for people, and they were afraid to leave their house. And all of that's true, but you got to come up with a better way to figure that out than to just soak the taxpayers again.

[Kenny Olson]

It proves their disingenuous. Disingenuous intentions. Joe, why would you. Why would you author and then try to pass a bill that you know is going certainly certain, with no certainty. What am I trying to say is going to fail in the House really appeal? So why do they even do that, Joe? Because the same with this gun bill that would effectively ban all hunting rifles. Why would they propose that when they know it's not going to pass the House?

[Joe Soucheray]

It appeals to the people who vote for them.

[Kenny Olson]

It's a waste of time. It doesn't get the state's business done. It's posturing. It's posing.

[Joe Soucheray]

They view the state's business as deconstructing this state. That's their business.

[Kenny Olson]

Even when their failure has been proven over and over and over and over again.

[Joe Soucheray]

I don't know any other way to look at it.

[Kenny Olson]

They have failed on every. Almost every level, and yet they continue to.

[Joe Soucheray]

I wish I did. I have no other way to look at it. What they're up to does not. And these are the collectivists. These are the people that wish good would happen to everybody. Supposedly, nothing they do contributes to the good of the average Minnesotan. Nothing. So where does that leave us, Ephed?

[Matthew]

It leaves us in Tanzania only because

[Joe Soucheray]

they come to us all the way from penguin. Tasmania.

[Matthew]

Ah, Tasmania.

[Joe Soucheray]

The traveling lamans. On this day, March 16, in 1876, the St. Paul Society for Improving the condition of the Population Poor. See here. Always been thought about.

[Matthew]

You got my attention.

[Joe Soucheray]

Later became the Society for the relief of the poor was organized to give aid to people who need food, fuel and work.

[Matthew]

Wait, what was the last one?

[Joe Soucheray]

Work. Early officers included Henry M. Rice, Alexander Ramsey, Henry H. Sibley, and William R. Marshall.

[Matthew]

Henry Sibley. I thought that's a nice thing. I thought he was just bad.

[Joe Soucheray]

On this day, March 16, in 1882, noted Esteet Oscar Wilde lectured at the opera House in St. Paul. St. Paul does no longer have an opera house. He had spoken the day before at the Academy of Music in Minneapolis.

[Matthew]

Oh, fun.

[Joe Soucheray]

Just imagine, we had an opera house in an academy of Music in Minneapolis on this day.

[Kenny Olson]

I can't believe Oscar Wilde was here.

[Joe Soucheray]

Yeah.

[Kenny Olson]

That's amazing.

[Joe Soucheray]

On this day, March 16, 1912, Clyde Elmer Anderson was born in Brainerd. A champion of social and humanitarian causes, he served a record 11 years as the state's lieutenant governor beginning in 1939, and then as the state's 28th governor from 51 to 55. He died in 1998. On this day in Minnesota, sports disappointment. History. March 16, 2020. The Vikings extended the contract of Kirk Cousins and traded Stefan Diggs. I don't. I. I don't remember any of that. I don't really care, but that's what happened.

[Matthew]

Can't argue with the fact.

[Joe Soucheray]

Thank you so much. G. Ellers. Yeah.

[Matthew]

[Matthew]

If you need a tire, instead of going to Marketplace Facebook, just go to clothing.

[John Reaves]

Clothing.

[Josh Arnold]

That does.

[Matthew]

That sounds weird.

[John Reaves]

It sounds.

[Joe Soucheray]

So does a tire.

[John Reaves]

Goodwill.

[Matthew]

Sounds like Goodwill clothing.

[Joe Soucheray]

And I was thinking one tire.
